HS series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive analysis of the KW HS series freezers, designed for high-security storage at -85°C, and compares them with other lines like the PL and HSL. It highlights differences in control systems and components that enhance reliability and security.
Specifications: The HS series includes 16 models with both vertical and horizontal options. Key features include a robust structure, high-power refrigerant group, and a triple-seal door to prevent air loss, ensuring long-term durability and suitability for heavy-duty tasks.
Security and Reliability: The freezers offer exceptional thermal insulation, efficient temperature recovery, and uniform internal temperature. Features include polyurethane insulation, insulated internal doors, and a unique tray evaporation system for fast cooling and recovery.
Energy Efficiency: Energy-saving features include improved insulation, efficient cooling units, and vacuum insulation panels (V.I.P.) that provide up to 20% energy savings. The use of environmentally friendly refrigerants with zero ozone depletion potential further enhances energy efficiency.
Technology and Innovation: Complying with ISO 9001:2000 and European CE safety regulations, the freezers feature the K1EX CONTROL system for easy operation and monitoring, with alarms for temperature, power failure, and door status. Backup systems for power failures and optional CO2 or LN2 backup systems are included.
Environmental Considerations: KW emphasizes environmental responsibility by using HFC refrigerants with low global warming potential and maintaining procedures for F-gas management, minimizing environmental impact while ensuring high performance.
Additional Features: The document describes the SPED device for reducing compressor stress, transponder/badge locks for security, and ergonomic design elements for user convenience. Freezers are equipped with pivoting wheels for easy transport and placement.
Specifications and Models: The freezers operate within a temperature range of -40°C to -85°C, with models like KUB75 HS V.I.P, K54HS, and K4055HSL offering various dimensions, capacities, and power consumption details.
Features: Key features include a μP electronic digital control system (K1EX CONTROL), vacuum insulation panels (V.I.P), and various alarm functions. An automatic condensation device is recommended for room temperatures exceeding +35°C.
Accessories: Available accessories include voltage regulators, remote alarm devices, disk and strip-chart recorders, CO2 and LN2 backup systems, additional sensors, and various storage containers to enhance functionality and safety.
Performance and Testing: Performance data includes power consumption and temperature maintenance during startup and blackout tests. For instance, the K568_K58PL_HS freezer consumes approximately 1.1 kW at -80°C in a +25°C environment, with a mean consumption of 610 W.
Construction and Design: The freezers feature ergonomic handles, door alarm switches, and triple seals for efficient operation and user safety. The HSL series is noted for its innovative refrigerating circuit design, which is CFC- and HCFC-free.
Compliance and Contact Information: The document concludes with compliance certifications (ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2003, OHSAS 18001 2007, ISO 14001:2004) and contact information for various departments within KW Apparecchi Scientifici.

HS series-3

HS series freezers at -85 °C The HS (High Security) series constitutes KW’s standard freezer line at -85°C; the PL (Premium Line) series represents excellence in verylow-temperature freezers for laboratory use. The HSL (High Security Light) series constitutes KW’s standard freezer line at -45°C; the PLL (Premium Line Light) series represents excellence in low-temperature freezers for laboratory use. The difference between both lines is in the control system and some components that, in the PL and PLL versions, drive equipment reliability even higher, and thus the security of the products stored...

HS series-4

HS series freezers at -85 °C -Models with very high capacity (500-600-700 litres) have new available solutions to bypass, during the pull down startup stage, the overheated steam from the 2nd stage to eliminate peaks by the compressor’s electric motor and reduce the resulting thermomechanical stress. The device, called SPED (Startup Pressure Equalisation Device), is installed upon request and increases the warranty on the compressor to 5 years. -Models HS and HSL offer lock with transponder/badge; the PK (Personal Key) device comes complete with badge reader, management electronics, stabilised...

HS series freezers at -85 °C Self-diagnosis test: upon boot up, the freezer’s LEDs and buzzer are activated for about 1”. User Menu access protected by password. Password-protected Setup access menu for service operations. Cooling Startup/Shutdown The startup and shutdown of the cooling cycle requires passwordprotected manoeuvres: the cycle starts from a standby status (lower display showing OFF). First the “START” key is pressed, then the display shows a password request; if correctly inserted, the cooling cycle will start, otherwise the display will show OFF again. The same procedure is necessary...

HS series freezers at -85 °C Example of consumption measurements for the K568_K58PL_HS freezer In terms of power, at -80 °C in an environment of about +25 °C, the equipment absorbs approximately 1.1 kW (when ON). For more accuracy an increase in the recorded ON/OFF is reported. In this graph the ON time is about 16 minutes, whereas the OFF time is about 10 minutes at - 80 °C. The mean consumption measured is approximately 610 W at the aforementioned conditions. Loss of the K568_K58 PL freezer The loss is approximately 2,000 BTU/h in standard environmental conditions.
